While student test scores are higher than average, the success at Kerhs Mill can be measured by more than academics. Unique curriculum and events offer well-rounded development of each student. Special programs include Adventure Club, a before and after school care system that offers homework time and enrichment activities. The school also incorporates Character Education into daily curriculum, teaching students accountability, responsibility, respectfulness, and caring behaviors. Students are recognized for outstanding behaviors with certificates and recognition in Facebook posts.
To meet the full spectrum of academic needs, Kerhs Mill offers several specialized programs. ESOL provides services for students who speak languages other than English. It offers additional education in English while celebrating cultural differences. The Gifted Education Program offers accelerated enrichment for gifted students. And for those who need additional help with reading, OASIS provides a tutorial program staffed by volunteer senior citizens, and the Reading Intervention program offers additional daily support from Reading Specialists.
Beyond these academic programs, the Kerhs Mill school calendar is filled with engaging activities. Special events include Abilities Awareness Day, charitable drives, Donuts with Grownups, battle of the books, STEAM night, and multi-cultural night. These events, combined with other academic efforts, are designed to promote community service, responsibility, self-esteem, and a life-long love of learning in each student.

Diversity is low, the school should give more attention to arts and musics. Academics should be improved.
